You've Got a Friend In Me

 Today's card is such a charmer - and I love it for all the things you cannot see as well as the things you can see.

The first step with this card was using a giant post-it note and cutting a large circle in it.  Using the cut-out circle, I adhered it to the cardstock and used blending brushes for soft water and sunny sky colors.  The sweet "floatie" was paper pieced.  So adorable. And I used alcohol markers for all the fun coloring.  

Two challenges are being entered today - the Inkspirational word prompt of Clothing/Closet because of the adorable hat on this Silly Goose.

And also Sketch Saturday with the gorgeous sketch they put up this week.  Love, love, love this sketch.  

Somehow, I managed to make a mess out of the sentiment, and then had to cover it up and redo it - so glad I did, though, because then I thought, "Hey, I can enter this into the Sketch Saturday challenge!"  Before that inky mistake, I had thought the card would be taking a different direction design-wise.

And then I also managed to drag my finger through the black ink and make a smudge - so that meant the other circle went onto the card - but that was perfect to go with the sketch also - so - you can see why I am loving this card for what is not visible as well as what is easy to see.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you get inky!
